Im excited for this. When hanging out with friends we will often get a pizza or something of that nature but it is always determined by who has cash on them, its not going to be a hassle anymore reimbursing them to the exact penny for each persons share because they are all in the FB ecosystem.

Yes we can certainly all breathe easier now! I know when I'm out with friends my enjoyment is so often ruined by the worry that the accounting isn't balanced to the penny.

Well that just isn't very nice.

To be fair I'd really like to see this implemented. Pitching in on gifts/dinner/tickets would be so much easier with this rather than having to give my bank account number out and checking for payment..

Because there aren't dozens of other ways to do this already..

Ya dozens of app's to make them install or I could let them know about a feature on an app that every single person I am friends with uses.

There were tons of search engines before Google came along. Uber had existed, why use Lyft? You get the idea...
